Lent 5 - Year C
what the priest missed
one life
is not enough
69 years, 5 months, 22 days
has layers of lives
evening and morning
an arc is approximated
so many Lazarus cycles
like starry sand
come and gone
gone and come
near as breath
far as blue yonder
another is ready
to be collaged
each one
a challenge
easier internally
for puzzlers
for privileged
threatened danger
enough lives
show poverty
so few lives
in an eternity
Lazarus is a means test
revealing the poor among us
choose beauty
choose thanks
these bring life
in their wake
awakening anew
a next birth
